New Spanish Tolkien Book - Xoanon @ 10:13 PST
The spanish website devoted to Tolkien and member of TORn Community, Elfenomeno.com, is proud to announce that three of their members (Paola Castagno, Jesus Pedrazo and Juan Manuel Villa) have published a book titled: "J.R.R. Tolkien: Preguntas frecuentes (y no tan frecuentes)" (in english would be something like: "J.R.R. Tolkien: Frequently (and not so frequently) asked questions". Edited by Ediciones Minotauro, the only owner of the rights to publish J.R.R. Tolkien books in Spain, the book was released yesterday, October 7.

As we can read in the backcover, the objective of this book is "to solve (almost) every question to Tolkien's readers, using as resource for the answers the whole works of the author, including the monumental History of Middle Earth and the History of the Lord of the Rings. This is the perfect complement to The Complete Guide to Middle-Earth (Robert Foster), because it collects more information and some characters, places and facts that are not present in it".

The book (only in Spanish) is available at book stores and shopping centres, and can also be acquired online. [elfenomeno.com]
